Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It'll be closed by the time MW2 launches, meaning this holiday season there will be Modern Warfare 2 on Gamepass with a $299 console able to play the next-gen Call of Duty without having to pay $70 for the game. Now you know why some people are so desperate for this to fall apart.

If they manage to close it by this years MW *AND* put it on Game Pass.

That will be a fucking killer move.

Exactly, not only MW2, probably MW3, BO2, Cold War, BO3, BO4, Crash, Crash Team Racing, Tony Hawk, etc…like Gamepass could hit 40 million subs this year off this alone.

We should make a bet. You really think it's going to go through? Bet your account. I'll take a perma ban if this deal doesn't go through, take the bet.
This deal won't be blocked by the shareholders. Maybe some concessions might have to be made by MS to keep the FTC and Co happy.

MS won't bend over for the ftc. They will make sure they use every trick they can, to have all authority on Activision-Blizzard's products.

What concessions exactly? The FTC doesn't care about COD being on Gamepass. They didn't stop Disney buying Fox. This is smaller than that as Microsoft will still only be the #3 game publisher after Tencent and Sony. Maybe they should make Tencent and Sony make concessions because they're bigger?

The FTC right now is just showcase, because they are heavily underfunded. They dont have the financial backing to stop this deal.
